I read he was also jailed for protesting at abortion clinics. So at least he was seamless garment.
From 1992 NY times article-
Father Berrigan explained in an interview: “I was fairly anxious not to appear as an anti-abortionist but someone who can speak for the bishop’s metaphor of the seamless garment of life. Our group wanted to show that we were trying to cherish life across the board. This is not a single-issue group.”
Asked if he would participate in future anti-abortion demonstrations, Father Berrigan said he had a busy schedule protesting everything from “Star Wars” research to what he called “the continuing war against children” resulting from international economic sanctions against Iraq.
The war on the unborn, 55 million plus dead, on this priest’s watch, and he is worried about Iraq.
Meanwhile, this man has been living in NYC, and in NYC, in I think 2012, more black babies were aborted than born.
His comments on burning draft papers-
“Our apologies, good friends, for the fracture of good order, the burning of paper instead of children,” Berrigan wrote at the time of the destruction of draft files. “How many must die before our voices are heard, how many must be tortured, dislocated, starved, maddened? When, at what point, will you say no to this war?”
He picked his communist/socialist cause and ran with it. And surprised other communists and socialists when he made a cameo at an abortion clinic.
